Hey Guys! I hope your week is going good! So for this week we are going to be reading through Chapter 4 of Matthew. This is where Jesus shows how much of a champ he is. Satan comes up and bites Jesus with the temptation bug. I dont wanna spoil it for you, but I suggest you read it. AGAIN, its not THAT long. I read more driving to work than there is written in this chapter. Anywho, I said we would have 2 Questions this week. The first I just want you to answer to yourself, just to help you think about the text, then maybe post something with your thoughts on this blog. The second is one I will ask during Focus, to help liven up the group.
Q1: Do you think Jesus was actually tempted?
Q2: Why did Satan choose this moment to tempt Jesus?
Pretty easy huh! See ya soon!

OF COURSE JESUS WAS TEMPTED. FIRST SATAN REQUESTED TWO THINGS FOR JESUS TO PROVE THERE IS A GOD AND THAT HE IS HIS SON. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN FRUSTRATING AND ANNOYING, AND MOST ANYONE WHO KNEW THAT THEY COULD PROVE IT IF THEY WANTED TO PROBABLY WOULD, JUST TO GET SATAN TO SHUT UP AND PROVE IT ONCE AND FOR ALL. BUT HE KNOWS GOD'S WISHES ARE MOST IMPORTANT, AND THAT HE WAS NOT AND IS NOT SUPPOSED TO TEST GOD. SECOND OF ALL, SATAN TEMPTS HIM BY OFFERING HIM ALL OF THE KINGDOMS, WHICH IN TURN WOULD GIVE HIM ALL OF THE WORLDLY POWER. WHICH ANY HUMAN WOULD WANT. AND YET JESUS KNOWS THERE IS A GREATER (THE GREATEST) POWER IN GOD AND THAT HE SHALL FOLLOW HIM AND NOT SURRENDER TO SATAN.
